The basic concept is a forest that exist in an extra-spacial anomaly within a children's hospital. It's accessible primarily by elevator if you press the button labeled "F". The hospital itself is dilapidated after years of abandonment after being shut down for unrelated reasons. Probably going to have it in Russia or a Baltic state; somewhere without a lot of greenery.

The forest was essentially a place created for children who couldn't travel far from the hospital to be able to experience the great outdoors without leaving the premises. In it are trails, tree-houses, play-grounds and rope bridges; basically a child's paradise. Nowadays it is almost barren, with the remaining plant-life being sickly or near-death.

The issue is, now that the hospital has been closed for years, the place hasn't been maintained, and the dimension the forest is in is breaking down. Holes are appearing in it, most leading to the city around it, and some into nowhere. The areas around these spaces are extremely hostile, sucking in any matter like a vacuum. The holes that lead into the city are unstable, moving about or disappearing and reappearing in other locations in both places. Wherever one appears is annihilated in a few meter radius. Every year more and more holes appear, and it is theorized that within a few years the entire thing will collapse and wipe the city out of existence.

Somewhere are the notes of the man who created this, detailing his idea to help the children there, his joy at his creation, and something about him doing everything he can to try to keep it stable, but he lost his job there and can't maintain it as often. Eventually he sneaks in and does something that triggers the first tear, and realizes his mistake. The rest is him trying to fix it until the hospital is shut down and the town abandoned due to war or something.

Any and all feedback would be appreciated.

Edit: Some ideas on the creator:

His corpse is found inside the anomaly, an a manor house seemingly built by him. The area around it is strangely intact and living in a circular area. Machinery and whatnot fills most of the rooms except for his office, bedroom, and workroom. Cause of death is apparently sever dehydration and malnurishment; he was deathly afraid that he would be consumed by the tears in the world and refused to leave.. In the last notes he writes, he found something to stabilize small areas permanently, notably the area around his house. However, the specific method is not found, and none of the machinery seems to function any longer.

This idea is beautiful in its decay, and I can definitely see it working.

I'm not necessarily feeling that the danger of the anomaly is doing that much to it, though. I get the sense that this article is more about the feeling of decay, and as such, the simple discovery of the decay and bleeding into our world should be plenty to spur the Foundation to action. Secure, Contain, Protect applies to anomalies as much as it applies to humanity, so the discovery of an anomaly that is decaying would like lead to its attempted preservation.

Since we have plenty of stories about fighting back against hazards, a story about the fight to preserve a dying anomaly would likely be more welcome. There can still be plenty of danger involved; holes to nowhere within the anomaly, breakdown of physics, and just the sadness of a forest dying from neglect. I suspect that an article that talks about this decay, the end of beautiful things we create, would resonate with the community.

The decay really was the first part of this to occur to me; the danger was kinda added on later. The part where it destroyed the surrounding city was a last minute thing, originally I was going to have it simply bleed into this reality but was having trouble figuring out how that may manifest itself, thus the destruction. My second option was some mind-bending spacial anomaly where the holes lead into the city but don't correspond to where they would be in the forest itself, or they move while exiting to the same place.

Thanks again for the advice, I still need to actually write something for this.
